Up to Gigabit ports and available Gigabit uplinks per virtual chassis for unparallel density at this price point. Each 00 series joins the Virtual Chassis architecture with a Gbps switching stack interconnect: when members in the stack, overall stacking backplane performance is Gbps full duplex. Within the stack, a switch is elected as the Master : the master is responsible for the control plane and forwarding/routing tables for the stack members. As for a Chassis switch, the control plane and the management plane are unified but each switch performs its local, line-rate switching and routing. Automatic Unit Replacement guarantees stack members smooth replacement without manual reconfiguration. Stack master redundancy is also automatic with sub-second failover. As for a Chassis switch, VLAN tagging, port mirroring and link aggregation are available from every port to every port across the stack (see page ). - -

5 Modern Access Layer Features Highlights Layer hardware with L+/L software flexibility All models are built upon the same hardware platform while Layer + and Layer software packages allow for better budget optimization Layer + software package provides straight forward IP static routing capabilities for physical interfaces, VLANs and subnets: uses latest generation silicon low-power -nanometer technology L and L switching features (access control list, classification, filtering, IPv/IPv routing, IPv transition services) are performed in hardware at interface line rate for voice, video, and data convergence M00-G; M00-G; At the edge of campus networks or in the server room, static routes are often preferred for simplicity (L fixed routes to the next hop towards the destination network are manually added to the routing table), without any impact on performance because L routing is wire-speed in hardware Layer + versions offer perfect investment protection in case of future routing resiliency applications with Layer license upgrades Layer license will unlock IPv routing, Multicast routing and all dynamic routing features for a given L+ model without any firmware upgrade nor configuration change - not even a service interruption When closer to the distribution layer, or at the edge of larger campus networks with routing around damage requirements, conveniently offer Layer versions with the Layer license already installed Top-of-the-line switching performance M00-GF Layer software package dynamic routing protocols (RIP, VRRP, OSPF; associated with PIM for Multicast) provide line rate fault tolerant routing K MAC address table, K concurrent VLANs and, Layer route table size for the most demanding enterprise or campus network access layers 0 PLUS certified power supplies for energy high efficiency Increased packet buffering with up to Mb dynamically shared accross all interfaces for most intensive virtualization applications Low latency at all network speeds, including Gigabit uplinks and Gbps flexible chain, ring or meshed Virtual Chassis Stacking topologies Jumbo frames support of up to Kb accelerating storage performance for backup and cloud applications SCSI Flow Acceleration and Automatic Protection / QoS for virtualization and server room networks containing iscsi initiators and iscsi targets by: Detecting the establishment and termination of iscsi sessions and connections by snooping packets used in the iscsi protocol Maintaining a database of currently active iscsi sessions and connections to store data about the participants; this allows the formulation of classifier rules giving the data packets for the session the desired QoS treatment Installing and removing classifier rule sets as needed for the iscsi session traffic Monitoring activity in the iscsi sessions to allow for aging out session entries if the session termination packets are not received Avoiding session interruptions during times of congestion that would otherwise cause iscsi packets to be dropped Ease of deployment Automatic configuration with DHCP and BootP Auto Install eases large deployments with a scalable configuration files management capability, mapping IP addresses and host names and providing individual configuration files to multiple switches as soon as they are initialized on the network Both the Switch Serial Number and Switch primary MAC address are reported by a simple show command in the CLI - facilitating discovery and remote configuration operations Automatic Voice over IP prioritization with Auto-VoIP simplifies most complex multi-vendor IP telephones deployments either based on protocols (SIP, H and SCCP) or on OUI bytes (default database and user-based OUIs) in the phone source MAC address; providing the best class of service to VoIP streams (both data and signaling) over other ordinary traffic by classifying traffic, and enabling correct egress queue configuration An associated Voice VLAN can be easily configured with Auto-VoIP for further traffic isolation When deployed IP phones are LLDP-MED compliant, the Voice VLAN will use LLDP-MED to pass on the VLAN ID, 0.P priority and DSCP values to the IP phones, accelerating convergent deployments Versatile connectivity Largest Gigabit choice for uplinks with SFP+ ports for fiber optic or short, low-latency copper DAC cables; GBase-T ports for legacy Cat RJ short connections (up to 0m) and CatA connections up to 0m; CX for legacy 0.ak infiniband wiring Automatic MDIX and Auto-negotiation on all ports select the right transmission modes (half or full duplex) as well as data transmission for crossover or straight-through cables dynamically for the admin IPv full support with IPv host, dual stack (IPv and IPv), multicasting (MLD for IPv filtering and PIM-SM / PIM-DM for IPv routing), ACLs and QoS, static routing and dynamic routing (OSPFv) as well as Configured to and Automatic to tunneling for IPv traffic encapsulation into IPv packets - -

6 Modern Access Layer Features Highlights (continued) Tier availability Virtual Chassis Stacking technology upsurges overall network availability with distributed link aggregations (LAGs) accross several switches, providing both better resiliency in network architectures, and better performance with advanced load balancing capabilities between network uplinks Within the Virtual Chassis, automatic unit replacement (AUR) guarantees stack members smooth replacement without manual reconfiguration; the Stack Master redundancy is also automatic with a sub-second secondary master recovery for all switching and routing functions in the stack Since all switches can potentially participate as a master for the control plane and forwarding/routing tables, there is virtually no single point of failure in the network topology in the unlikely event of an unit failure Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP) allow for rapid transitionning of the ports to the Forwarding state and the suppression of Topology Change Notification IP address conflict detection performed by the embedded DHCP server prevents accidental IP address duplicates from perturbing the overall network stability IP Event Dampening reduces the effect of interface flaps on routing protocols: the routing protocols temporarily disable their processing (on the unstable interface) until the interface becomes stable, thereby greatly increasing the overall stability of the network Ease of management and control Virtual Chassis Stacking technology consolidates up to switches around a single management IP address, which simplifies network operations even when switches are in distant closets (distant stacking) Because the Virtual Chassis acts as a single switch in the network, other switches also see the stack as a typical chassis eliminating the need for complex spanning tree architectures and allowing for simple, load balanced distributed link aggregations instead Software (firmware) updates are automatic for all switches in the Virtual Chassis when the master switch gets updated Dual firmware image and dual configuration file for transparent firmware updates / configuration changes with minimum service interruption Flexible Port-Channel / LAG (0.ad) implementation for maximum compatibility, fault tolerance and load sharing with any type of Ethernet channeling from other vendors switch, server or storage devices conforming to IEEE 0.ad - including static (selectable hashing algorithms) or dynamic LAGs (highly tunable LACP Link Aggregation Control Protocol ) Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) and Aggressive UDLD detect and avoid unidirectional links automatically, in order to prevent forwarding anomalies in a Layer communication channel in which a bi-directional link stops passing traffic in one direction Port names feature allows for descriptive names on all interfaces and better clarity in real word admin daily tasks SDM (System Data Management, or switch database) templates allow for granular system resources distribution depending on IPv or IPv applications: ARP Entries (the maximum number of entries in the IPv Address Resolution Protocol ARP cache for routing interfaces), IPv Unicast Routes (the maximum number of IPv unicast forwarding table entries), IPv NDP Entries (the maximum number of IPv Neighbor Discovery Protocol NDP cache entries), IPv Unicast Routes (the maximum number of IPv unicast forwarding table entries), ECMP Next Hops (the maximum number of next hops that can be installed in the IPv and IPv unicast forwarding tables), IPv Multicast Routes (the maximum number of IPv multicast forwarding table entries) and IPv Multicast Routes (the maximum number of IPv multicast forwarding table entries) Loopback interfaces management for routing protocols administration Private VLANs and local Proxy ARP help reduce broadcast with added security Management VLAN ID is user selectable for best convenience Industry-standard VLAN management in the command line interface (CLI) for all common operations such as VLAN creation; VLAN names; VLAN make static for dynamically created VLAN by GRVP registration; VLAN trunking; VLAN participation as well as VLAN ID (PVID) and VLAN tagging for one interface, a group of interfaces or all interfaces at once System defaults automatically set per-port broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm control for typical, robust protection against DoS attacks and faulty clients which can, with BYOD, often create network and performance issues IP Telephony administration is simplified with consistent Voice VLAN capabilities per the industry standards and automatic functions associated Comprehensive set of system utilities and Clear commands help troubleshoot connectivity issues and restore various configurations to their factory defaults for maximum admin efficiency: traceroute (to discover the routes that packets actually take when traveling on a hop-by-hop basis and with a synchronous response when initiated from the CLI), clear dynamically learned MAC addresses, counters, IGMP snooping table entries from the Multicast forwarding database etc... All major centralized software distribution platforms are supported for central software upgrades and configuration files management (HTTP, TFTP), including in highly secured versions (HTTPS, SFTP, SCP) Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) can be used to synchronize network resources and for adaptation of NTP, and can provide synchronized network timestamp either in broadcast or unicast mode (SNTP client implemented over UDP - port ) Embedded RMON ( groups) and sflow agents permit external network traffic analysis Engineered for convergence Audio (Voice over IP) and Video (multicasting) comprehensive switching, filtering, routing and prioritization Auto-VoIP, Voice VLAN and LLDP-MED support for IP phones QoS and VLAN configuration IGMP Snooping and Proxy for IPv, MLD Snooping and Proxy for IPv and Querier mode facilitate fast receivers joins and leaves for multicast streams and ensure multicast traffic only reaches interested receivers everywhere in a Layer or a Layer network Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) uses a dedicated Multicast VLAN to forward multicast streams and avoid duplication for clients in different VLANs Multicast routing (PIM-SM and PIM-DM, both IPv and IPv) ensure multicast streams can reach receivers in different L subnets Multicast static routes Multicast dynamic routing (PIM associated with OSPF) including PIM multi-hop RP support for routing around damage advanced capabilities PoE power management and schedule enablement Power redundancy for higher availability when mission critical convergent installation, including hot-swap main PSU replacement without interruption - -

7 Modern Access Layer Features Highlights (continued) Enterprise security Traffic control MAC Filter and Port Security help restrict the traffic allowed into and out of specified ports or interfaces in the system in order to increase overall security and block MAC address flooding issues DHCP Snooping monitors DHCP traffic between DHCP clients and DHCP servers to filter harmful DHCP message and builds a bindings database of (MAC address, IP address, VLAN ID, port) tuples that are considered authorized in order to prevent DHCP server spoofing attacks IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection use the DHCP snooping bindings database per port and per VLAN to drop incoming packets that do not match any binding and to enforce source IP/MAC addresses for malicious users traffic elimination Layer /Layer -v / Layer -v/layer Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be binded to ports, Layer interfaces, VLANs and LAGs (Link Aggregation Groups or Port channel) for fast unauthorized data prevention and right granularity ACLs on CPU interface (Control Plane ACLs) are used to define the IP/MAC or protocol through which management access is allowed for increased HTTP/HTTPS or Telnet/ SSH management security Bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) Guard allows the network administrator to enforce the Spanning Tree (STP) domain borders and keep the active topology consistent and predictable - unauthorized devices or switches behind the edge ports that have BPDU enabled will not be able to influence the overall STP topology by creating loops Spanning Tree Root Guard (STRG) enforces the Layer network topology by preventing rogue root bridges potential issues when for instance, unauthorized or unexpected new equipment in the network may accidentally become a root bridge for a given VLAN Dynamic 0.x VLAN assignment mode, including Dynamic VLAN creation mode and Guest VLAN/ Unauthenticated VLAN are supported for rigorous user and equipment RADIUS policy server enforcement 0.x MAC Address Authentication Bypass (MAB) is a supplemental authentication mechanism that lets non- 0.x devices bypass the traditional 0.x process altogether, letting them authenticate to the network using their client MAC address as an identifier Up to clients (0.x) per port are supported, including the authentication of the users domain, in order to facilitate convergent deployments: for instance when IP phones connect PCs on their bridge, IP phones and PCs can authenticate on the same switch port but under different VLAN assignment policies (Voice VLAN versus data VLANs A list of authorized MAC addresses of client NICs is maintained on the RADIUS server for MAB purpose MAB can be configured on a per-port basis on the switch MAB initiates only after the dotx authentication process times out, and only when clients don t respond to any of the EAPOL packets sent by the switch When 0.X unaware clients try to connect, the switch sends the MAC address of each client to the authentication server The RADIUS server checks the MAC address of the client NIC against the list of authorized addresses The RADIUS server returns the access policy and VLAN assignment to the switch for each client Double VLANs (DVLAN - QoQ) pass traffic from one customer domain to another through the metro core in a multi-tenancy environment: customer VLAN IDs are preserved and a service provider VLAN ID is added to the traffic so the traffic can pass the metro core in a simple, secure manner Private VLANs (with Primary VLAN, Isolated VLAN, Community VLAN, Promiscuous port, Host port, Trunks) provide Layer isolation between ports that share the same broadcast domain, allowing a VLAN broadcast domain to be partitioned into smaller pointto-multipoint subdomains accross switches in the same Layer network Private VLANs are useful in DMZ when servers are not supposed to communicate with each other but need to communicate with a router; they remove the need for more complex port-based VLANs with respective IP inter face/subnets and associated L routing Another Private VLANs typical application are carrier-class deployments when users shouldn t see, snoop or attack other users traffic Secure Shell (SSH) and SNMPv (with or without MD or SHA authentication) ensure SNMP and Telnet sessions are secure TACACS+ and RADIUS enhanced administrator management provides strict Login and Enable authentication enforcement for the switch configuration, based on latest industry standards: exec authorization using TACACS+ or RADIUS; command authorization using TACACS+ and RADIUS Server; user exec accounting for HTTP and HTTPS using TACACS+ or RADIUS; and authentication based on user domain in addition to user ID and password Superior quality of service Advanced classifier-based hardware implementation for Layer (MAC), Layer (IP) and Layer (UDP/TCP transport ports) prioritization queues for priorities and various QoS policies based on 0.p (CoS) and DiffServ can be applied to interfaces and VLANs Advanced rate limiting down to Kbps granularity and mininum-guaranteed bandwidth can be associated with ACLs for best granularity Automatic Voice over IP prioritization with Auto-VoIP iscsi Flow Acceleration and automatic protection/qos with Auto-iSCSI Flow Control 0.x Flow Control implementation per IEEE 0. Annex B specifications with Symmetric flow control, Asymmetric flow control or No flow control Asymmetric flow control allows the switch to respond to received PAUSE frames, but the ports cannot generate PAUSE frames Symmetric flow control allows the switch to both respond to, and generate MAC control PAUSE frames Allows traffic from one device to be throttled for a specified period of time: a device that wishes to inhibit transmission of data frames from another device on the LAN transmits a PAUSE frame UDLD Support UDLD implementation detects unidirectional links physical ports (UDLD must be enabled on both sides of the link in order to detect an unidirectional link) UDLD protocol operates by exchanging packets containing information about neighboring devices The purpose is to detect and avoid unidirectional link forwarding anomalies in a Layer communication channel in which a bi-directional link stops passing traffic in one direction Both normal-mode and aggressive-mode are supported for perfect compatibility with other vendors implementations, including port D-Disable triggering cases in both modes - -

8 Virtual Chassis Stacking Technology AX vh Gbps Stacking Kit ( Gbps per switch) Dual-Ring Topology: Both rear I/O GbE bays are preset for stacking using any AXx module AX is a bundle: CX I/O modules AX + stacking CX cable (m) One AX Stacking Kit per switch is required for dual ring topology Each module half-duplex speed is Gbps ( Gbps full duplex) with m cable When one AX kit per switch (two modules): Dual ring stacking interconnect is Gps per switch (half duplex) Dual ring stacking interconnect is Gbps per switch (full duplex) -switch global stacking interconnect is Gbps (full duplex) Longer version of the stacking cable is available as an option: AXC-000S ( meter infiniband CX cable) Half-duplex speed Gbps (0 Gbps full duplex) with m version Longer standard CX cables can be used; performance may vary Rear I/O bays preset for zero-touch stacking For deployment convenience, the two rear I/O bays are preconfigured for stacking mode in factory default settings: this allows for zero-touch stacking as soon as back connectivity is detected. AX Stacking Kit ( Gbps half duplex/ Gbps full duplex interconnect per switch, meter cable) is cost-effective preferred method for local Virtual Chassis Stacking using both rear I/O bays; a longer stacking cable is available as an option (AXC, meter version) and any standard, high quality infiniband CX cable can be used instead. When some switches are distant, affordable SFP+ (AX) and GBase-T (AX) I/O modules allow for fiber or copper distant connections, still leveraging rear bays zero-touch stacking functionality. Copper, fiber can be mixed and matched for stacking interconnect. Both front, embedded Gigabit combo ports (SFP+/GBase-T) are pre-configured for Ethernet (uplink) mode in factory default settings. Configuration can be changed: two front GbE ports and two rear GbE ports can each run Ethernet (uplink) and/or Stacking modes for maximum flexibility. For instance, in standalone applications all four GbE ports can be used for Ethernet uplinks. Reversely, all four GbE ports can be set to Stacking mode for Full Mesh stacking shown on page. AX port SFP+ I/O module AX port GBase-T I/O module Both rear I/O GbE bays are preset for Stacking mode using any AXx module Local stacking and Distant stacking are supported within the same stack AX, AX and AX can be mixed and matched for Virtual Chassis AX-000S ( port SFP+ for GBase-X fiber optics) AX-000S ( port GBase-T for copper - 0 meters RJ CatA) - -

9 Virtual Chassis Stacking Technology Full Mesh Topology Technology Overview NETGEAR Virtual Chassis stacking technology provides resilient network architecture: Up to independent switches are consolidated around a single management IP address It simplifies network operations Up to available Gigabit ports and available Gigabit uplinks per virtual chassis for unparallel density when in dual ring topology Each 00 series joins the Virtual Chassis architecture with a Gbps switching stack interconnect When members in the stack, overall stacking backplane performance is Gbps full duplex in dual ring topology In full mesh toplogy ( ports GbE used per switch), each 00 can join the Virtual Chassis architecture with a switching stack interconnect of up to Gbps Overall stacking backplane performance can scale up to 0 Gpbs The stack acts as a single switch in the network: One CLI and one web interface managing the virtual chassis The other switches in the network also see the stack as a virtual chassis The virtual chassis has only one configuration file, and VLANs / LAGs / Port mirroring are available across the member units as for blades, similar to a typical modular chassis switch NETGEAR Virtual Chassis stacking technology is flexible: switches intelligently join the Virtual Chassis architecture with a Gbps switching stack interconnect, when using local AX stacking kits for dual ring topology Gigabit copper (GBase-T) and Gigabit fiber (SFP+) are also available for distant units local and distant switches can join the same stack NETGEAR Virtual Chassis stacking technology delivers a bidirectional, highly resilient topology: Higher throughput capacity with lower latency and jitter for VoIP and Multicast traffic Each switch in the stack understands the shortest path to forward traffic, bi-directionally both up and down Dual ring architecture (or better) ensures that if a switch fails within the stack, all others switches can still communicate with one another Automatic Unit Replacement (AUR) guarantees stack member s replacement without even a stack reboot or manual configuration Stack master redundancy is also automatic: with sub-second failover, the secondary master will take over and become the new master without any significant network interruption for the clients Virtual Chassis functionality Within the stack, a switch is elected as the Master : the master is responsible for the control plane and forwarding/routing tables for the stack members Simultaneously, another switch is selected as the Secondary Master for sub-second failover in the unlikely event the Master fails Master and Secondary Master unit can be manually selected within the stack, although the process is completely automatic by default for convenience - -

10 Virtual Chassis Stacking Technology Technology Overview As for a Chassis switch, the data plane, the control plane and the management plane are unified but each switch performs its local, line-rate switching and routing As for a Chassis switch, VLAN tagging, port mirroring and link aggregation are available from every port to every port across the stack Distributed Link Aggregation Distributed trunking across the stack allows redundant uplinks without creating loops LACP automatic load-balancing and port failover ensure greater bandwidth network layers and maximize redundancy without spanning tree Active-active connections radically improve performance for servers at the same time NETGEAR true Virtual Chassis Stacking technology delivers resiliency, simplicity and better performance throughout the entire network Layer + and Layer units mixed stacking For budget optimization, Virtual Chassis architecture allows for mixed Layer +/Layer units stacking. Mechanism is simple: the configuration is maintained by the Stack Master unit, as well as the control plane and all switching/ forwarding tables When the Stack Master is a Layer unit, or a Layer + unit equipped with its L license upgrade, the entire Stack runs Layer software package When the Stack Master is a Layer + unit, the entire Stack will run Layer + software package; even when Layer units are present Functional guidelines for a Layer Stack using Layer + units are as follows: When mixed Layer +/Layer units, it is recommended to manually select one Layer unit as the Stack Master in order to run Layer software package All other units can be Layer + units without any inpact on Virtual Chassis Layer performance; their Layer capabilities are unlocked by the Master For redundancy, it is preferable to manually set up a second Layer unit as the Secondary Master; in the unlikely event the Stack Master unit fails This way the Virtual Chassis Stack will automatically recover, keeping the Layer configuration and all forwarding/routing active tables If not, should Stack Master unit fail, the entire Virtual Chassis Stack would loose its Layer configuration and downgrade to Layer + software package Previous generation units mixed stacking For investment protection, Virtual Chassis architecture allows for mixed GSMxxPS VH and GSMxxS VH units stacking. Mechanism is simple: with.0 software release comes a SDM (System Data Management, or switch database) For customers already running GSMxxPS VH and GSMxxS VH stack, they need to upgrade the stack firmware to.0 release New units (H new version) will need to have their SDM template match the GSMxxPS/GSMxxS running template Functional guidelines for a previous generation mixed stacking are as follows: When existing GSMxxPS VH and GSMxxS VH stack, it is required to upgrade their firmware to same.0.x version as new unit Next, it is recommended to make sure the existing stack SDM template is the same as the new unit SDM template With the same SDM template, new can seamlessly join the existing stack as a new member - -

12 Target Application Get started today with NETGEAR NETGEAR Gigabit Aggregation managed switches and NETGEAR Next-Gen Edge managed switches are ideal for all organizations considering reliable, affordable and simple Gigabit Ethernet backbone architectures. The move toward deploying GbE closer to the network s edge makes sense given the current requirements of modern networks. Such high-performance connections are necessary to enable the following business-critical applications: Desktop and workstations data workload aggregation Bandwidth requirements among desktop users within organizations is increasing exponentially as workloads and associated applications require greater, more intense processing power For example, PC backup programs that run continuously and automatically in the background place a such heavy strain on the network that, without Gigabit Ethernet, can slow overall network performance IP voice and video applications Bandwidth-rich IP voice and video applications stand to improve productivity and reduce costs Executives can use teleconferencing, for example, to build stronger relationships with geographically dispersed teams, speed up decision-making and reduce travel time Yet such media-rich applications can generate many megabytes of data in a very short amount of time, resulting in significant network bandwidth consumption Vertical Industry-specific applications Many vertical industry-specific applications are extremely bandwidth-intensive and require higher-speed connectivity For example, digital imaging applications used by the healthcare industry to enable procedures such as CAT scans and MRIs, or CAD and CAM programs used in the manufacturing industry, require more robust, powerful and real-time performance only possible over Gigabit Ethernet connections Deploying Gigabit Ethernet at the aggregation layer will increase network performance and reliability; midsized businesses should look for a high-capacity, scalable architecture that can support continued growth and increasing bandwidth requirements over time In modern networks, key applications for Gigabit Ethernet are: Low-cost aggregation of uplinks from Gigabit edge switches Edge switch stacking for easier management and resiliency Low-latency interconnect switching for servers and network storage Used as a foundation for virtualized applications in the server room intelligent switching solutions a Must Successful Gigabit Ethernet deployments require intelligent switching solutions with advanced features such as integrated security, high availability, delivery optimization, enhanced manageability, and support for new applications. Such solutions are most beneficial if they enable organizations to leverage their existing investments in network infrastructure. Key requirements include: High performance backbone links In desktop switching environments, wire-speed performance with full QoS control for all /0/00 interfaces is critical Switches that provide flexibility through the use of Gigabit Ethernet Combo ports simplify integration with existing copper or fiber cabling High level of redundancy Distributed link aggregation, redundant links and sub-second failover capabilities are essential to minimize downtime They largely increase network reliability and availability Stacking capability for network growth and reduced management When switches function as a single stack, they are much easier to monitor and manage Stacking also adds network resiliency and allows for easier network scaling Gigabit Virtual Chassis hardware stacking technology and Gigabit distributed link aggregation present an opportunity to scale both the entire network s performance and redundancy. edge switches and servers benefit from greater bandwidth capacity with traditional active-active teaming (LACP link aggregation control protocol) and load balancing. Stackable switches allow for redundancy, distributing these multiple connections across the stack. The stack acts as a single logical switch and it s transparent for the server or the aggregation switch. Virtual Chassis stacking allows IT administrators to easily add more ports to their switch fabric, simplifying management and adding network resiliency. - -
